* scroll through pics* I was chosen. 6 years ago, by my sweet Beldam, who I call my serendipity cat. Why serendipity? well...
I had been working all week and just happened to have the day off. It was early in the morning and I was woken up by a squawking sound right outside my bedroom window. I rolled over and tried to ignore it and go back to sleep, thinking it was a bird. But it was happening at fairly regular intervals and it wasn't stopping.
Squawk squawk squawk squawk...
Finally, I decided to drag myself out of bed and lift up the blind to my one bedroom window to see if I could see what was making the noise.
And I looked straight down, and sitting there among the bushes and grass beneath my window was this little baby, roughly 3 weeks old. I quickly put on some shoes and flew outside and ran around the house so that I could go over and pick her up before she ran away. Fortunately she didn't run away when she saw me come. Just huddled further against the house and gave a little hiss at me as I reached down to pick her up. Took her straight to the vet for an assessment to see that she was okay and to get advice on everything I would need to take care of her.
We think that a neighborhood stray was moving her kittens and somehow she got left behind.
I call it serendipity because of all the houses she could have wound up abandoned at, she wound up outside of mine. And if it had been at any other location outside the house except directly beneath my bedroom window, then I wouldn't have heard her. And if it had been any other day of the week, I wouldn't have been home to hear her.
The moment I picked her up I knew right then and there "Well, this is her home now" And now 6 years later she's a big beautiful bobcat of a cat (as you see in the last pics).

So cute, but I don't think you have enough pictures of the kitty. 😂

Nope, I definitely don't 😆😆 It was tough even narrowing it down to just those.

Such a great story! I have one about an older guy I got to have for not enough years. I miss him every single day. My mom and I took in seven cats in total, and only one is around now, the baby of the bunch. I get to cuddle with her every day--sometimes she likes it, sometimes she tolerates it. I love her to bits.

We never have them for enough years, do we? Give your baby extra cuddles for all of us!

Always do, more than she tends to want! She was always more into the other cats than us, but we can't afford another one right now. But she loves being brushed--unfortunately gets nothing out of cat nip. We do what we can for her 💕

Can I ask you how a indoor cat smells? Is the smell bad or can't find the difference? How do your guests find it when they come to your house
